Hey guys! I'm so so sorry this took so long, it took several attempts to write as I kept changing what happens hehe :) I really hope this lives up to your expectations :3
Chapter 6- Silence
~PHIL'S POV~
I awoke instantly to the sound of my alarm. At first, what had happened the night before was simply a memory. I looked across at my phone, still in the same place from the call from the hospital. DAN! I rushed out of bed, not even bothering to shower or straighten my hair, squeezed into some black skinnies and a t-shirt, and headed out.
The hospital was very empty; I checked my phone. 7AM? No wonder it was this quiet! I headed to reception, my stomach starting to twist and turn. I stuttered Dan's name to the receptionist, who pointed a finger down the hall. My heart raced as I approached the door.
I entered the dull, gloomy room where I saw Dan, lying there, lifeless. He was covered in wires and tubes; if it weren't for them he would be dead. If it wasn't for that man, I would be dead.
I walked over to him, kneeling down on the chair next to the bed. I held his hand and we had a long silence. And then I broke down. It was too much to see Dan in the state he was in, knowing in the back of my mind that he probably wouldn't wake up. "…Dan… I'm so sorry for telling you I love you. If I hadn't have, none of this mess would have happened!" I began to sob.
"…What?..." Dan whispered, slowly blinking and opening his eyes.
~DAN'S POV~
I could hear everything that was going on. And that's all I could do. I couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't see. I just wanted to be back to normal and ask all the pressing questions I had. 'Whose voice was that I heard? Sounds like a man. A man is in love with me? Am I gay?' questions span around my head. I eventually was able to open my eyes, greeted by a lean ebony-haired man clenching my hand.
"…What?..." I asked, unable to comprehend what was happening. The man looked blankly at me, but rather saddened. "What happened?" I questioned, demanding answers to the most important questions first.
"There was a crash," he replied. "You got hit by a taxi, you saved my life. Don't you remember Dan?" he continued, still grasping my hand in his.
I pulled my hand away.
"No, I don't. I'm sorry, but I don't. Did anyone else get hurt?" I said, trying to find out more details of the accident. He pointed at his jaw.
"Well, when you shoved me out the way, I broke my jaw out of impact. And a twisted wrist, but that's it, nothing serious." He put on a smile, grabbing my hand in his once more. "You'll be just fine."
"I shoved you out of the way?" I questioned, before continuing. "But I don't know you."
~PHIL'S POV~
Oh no. Oh God, shit. He doesn't remember me.
"…You don't know who I am? Not even a name?" I asked, feeling my eyes swell up with water.
"I don't recall ever seeing you before… should I have?" He looked incredibly confused and worried.
"Well, we've been housemates for years. I'm Phil." That's all I could say. I couldn't bombard him with everything at once.
"Really? I can't even… wait… how do I know I can trust you? For all I know you could be a little creep from work or something." He spat out.
"You can trust me Dan, you've known me long enough. And as for work, can you remember what you do for a job?"
"Nope, but knowing me, I'm unemployed?" He chuckled.
"No silly, you make videos on YouTube for the internet. You're practically famous." I said, twisting round my laptop. Dan chuckled, watching himself in Phil Is Not On Fire 3.
There was then a long silence. Too long.
Dan threw his arms around me. "I remember everything." He paused. "Do you still love me Phil?"
I didn't know what to say.
"Yes, and I always will." I had to tell him the truth.
"Because I love you too."
I couldn't believe what I just heard. I got up on the hospital bed with him, we sat there listening to the silence once again, before turning to eachother.
"Kiss me Phil."
"…D-Dan, are you sure of what you're asking? If you're high on morphine I don't want t…"
Dan leaned in and closed his eyes and his lips soon met with mine. Our first kiss.
"I love you Dan" I had never meant anything more ever.
"I love you more" he said, resting his head on my shoulder and placing has hand across my stomach.
Who knew dull, gloomy hospital rooms could be so romantic.
